1:16 am
pre-existing conditions, that our children stay on our health care until we were 26 and something thank god for you and roy cooper, expanding medicare and medicaid coverage. i will say this. on the second one, this is the one thing he kept his word on and he followed through with it. he said to his rich buddies you are rich as hell and i'm going to give you a tax cut. he did give those tax cuts to the wealthiest among us. all the while creating the largest debt of any president in history. as republican friends are so apt to do, they tell you government does not work. then they get elected and approve it. we know that shell game. the third thing he did and he brags about this often. he ran through three judges made sure women are no longer
1:17 am
responsible for their own health care choices. and i don't know how he found enough energy to do this. he did all that before he tried to violently overthrow our election and deny a free and fair election. we need to be clear about how we talk about that because he lost the election and there is no doubt about that. there is no need to have fair and balanced news coverage on that because there is no fair and balanced. he lost. the election fair and square. and look, my high school students know this and my players knew this. you play hard, the other team plays hard and after the game if you lose, you will cross and shake hands. in politics you take it another step forward. . you will crossing gradually the winter and do all you can to help them succeed because that is good for america.

1:19 am
spread fear to drum up support for us. now, the only thing amongst this group is no kidding. we have been seeing that for years but at least they admitted it. what other things are they making up stories about? i think you know. the reason you do that is if you told what you really stood for, no one would vote for you. that includes the folks who think that because you know you have your neighbors. we have them in our families don't we know. that is what happens. i don't like donald trump but i liked what he stands for. really? elaine suppressing women's reproductive rights? is that what you want or is it cutting taxes for billionaires while you get screwed by the -- screwed. or is it ignoring problems like our shoulder -- like our children being shot dead in schools? for all of us, the truth here,

normal level of president. that is not with the challenge of what donald trump is dealing with. we want to be as careful as possible and we want to make it so we cut out the ridiculous rhetoric i think has put a giant target on donald trump's back. i have to say this because all of us whether republicans, democrats are independents, all of us can do a better job at showing respect at showing respect and trying to debate our differences without going into personal attacks. >> former president trump address the apparent assassination attack while he was on went -- on long island. next, stop he made at a local restaurant. while at the restaurant, he made what is believed to be the first bitcoin transaction made a presidential candidate. -- made by a presidential candidate.
